Outreach

To get a better grasp of children’s health, College of Education doctoral student Elgin Andrews is working with After-School All-Stars Atlanta — a program run by the Department of Kinesiology and Health that provides comprehensive after-school programs for at-risk students in the metro Atlanta area — to study how curriculum and policy can be geared toward urban youth to increase their overall health.

Sidenote: A Night of Soul and Service

The Alonzo A. Crim Center for Urban Educational Excellence, in partnership with Sidebar Atlanta, Georgia State University’s Office of Civic Engagement and Office of Multicultural Programs, will host a school supply drive from Aug. 25-Sept. 4.

The drive, which will collect supplies for teachers and students in pre-K through 12th grade, will culminate in Sidenote: A Night of Soul and Service, scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 4, from 7-11 p.m. at Sidebar Atlanta (79 Poplar St.). Sidenote will be an evening of musical and poetic performances. Attendees must be 18 years or older — and bring a school supply — to attend.
